Weymouth Bay from the Downs above Osmington Mills is a 1816 oil by John Constable, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
Weymouth Bay from the Downs above Osmington Mills is a landscape painted by John Constable in 1816. He used oil paint to record a view of the Dorset coast. Constable and his wife Maria spent a six‑week honeymoon at Osmington Mills that year. The work is thought to be a quick outdoor sketch, so the geography is very accurate. The Isle of Portland appears on the left, near Redcliff Point. Find more about it at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
John Constable (; 11 June 1776 – 31 March 1837) was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition.
